net.minecraftforge.fml.loading.EarlyLoadingException: Duplicate mods found

Check your mods folder - maybe a mod is twice available

unfortunately, ive poured over that already. ive even had a friend go through it with me and we cant find the problem. I was hoping someone would have better luck than us

The log does not point to a mod - start removing mods in groups

Maybe one mod already contains a part of another mod

For example, start with removing all thermal mods

Progress with the structure mods, the mcw mods etc

because I hate when threads like these have no solution- removing the mod "ModernFix" by embeddedt, got my game working. after reading over what it does more carefully (it was something i took from an established pack and saw 'oh bug fixes, thats probably good to have' and didnt have a second thought) I still dont know what it could be clashing with. gonna try continuing my search for the other half of the problem, because i think id rather have it than whatever is butting heads with it. I thought it might be 'better fps - render distance' but no, taking that out with modernfix on still crashes. 

Maybe it is conflicting with another fixing mod, like

• AI-Improvements
• AttributeFix
• All JEI mods
• MaxHealthFix

not any of these, unfortunately. Ive just gone through and disabled all of them and it still crashes. Idk, I may just keep modernfix off for now. im not going to spend the rest of my day off troubleshooting when i can just call it good enough for now. 

I do appreciate the suggestions tho.
